Any legal "free" version of vb will be limited / crippled in some way. I haven't used vb in a very, very long time, but a quick search shows the "2008 Express Edition" available for free download from Microsoft from here . I haven't tried it so can't recommend it. However, I hope this helps to get you started.

Unfortunatly VB6 is not a free piece of software... at least not legally. Which is the way it should be. It cost alot of money and manpower to make a good stable piece of software. I admire those who have free open-source software apps but even for the good ones they generally hint heavily at donating because it cost alot of time and money into developing and maintaining the software.

Dear friend take a look to these links, I hope they help you:
